It made me smile coming from a dutchman, not implying your lazy but the majority of your fellow country men and women....and dont bring up the whole cycling thing
Surely the simple measure is those teams that play every leg of the series? (four from five at a push)
Because if you're serious you play every leg, if you don't you can't be. I don't think 80% of the total teams that play Millenniums (remember to include M5 too) do that or close to it.
The rest normally go for their "home" event and then one (maybe two) other that's easy to get to and offers them the big time feel. I know in my first season I just played the UK and Toulouse - simply because Toulouse was the "event". Reffing won't be the reason teams come to an event, but it might be a big factor in getting them to come again
You have a point there beaker would be interesting to have a team list of the teams who participated in ALL the milleniums legs
obviously it is a sliding scale - the lower the division, there higher the percentage of unserious teams.´
I think if you look at CPL and Div. 1 i this years MS, 95 % or more are "serious" teams.
In Division 2 it is probably more like 60 %
Hmm - my math may have been a bit off - call it 65 % of the teams at an event are "serious".
Question then becomes who promoters should cater for?

But there are only 16 CPL teams and 32 SPL. There were 180 odd M5 teams over the course of the year...
65% of the total - no way...
65% of the total - no way...
But surely for those teams the decision to come again relies heavily on the fun factor? Which depends on many things, of which reffing will be a part, but is unlikely to be a major one, as they don't play in a way that makes it hard on the refs and they all think that French refs suck anyway, yet continue to bumrush Toulouse.
I think things like the trade village, the atmosphere, nekkid hoes and such are more of a deciding factor.
Whatever brings in the most money. And as Beaker pointed out, that ain't the serious guys.
And peeps wonder why Paintball can't crack the bigtime. If our biggest events and top promoters are conflicted about what the game is or isn't and just who they are catering to how can anyone seriously expect anybody outside of the game to take it seriously?
